It's a day to celebrate fatherhood here in the States. Two of my three favorite dads are here with me today, which makes for a good celebration. Matt, Betsy, and Skylar were here for brunch, and later we'll be going out to dinner. It's raining (again), but at least we don't have the flooding that's plaguing the middle of the country.
I think I got Adam's card in the mail just in time. Hopefully, it arrived in Oregon before today. I think it's my favorite.
The dark brown cardstock came from the June Simon Says card kit. The Absolutely die and awesome stamp are also from Simon Says, and the Thickers are Amy Tan for American Craft. I don't often use Thickers on a card, but it worked well here.
The materials for the next card (for Tracy) almost all came from the June kit except for the map paper which was from an old October Afternoon collection called "Boarding Pass." It started with this inspiration card from Kristina Werner, though I ended up in a totally different place.
The card that holds the sentiment (from a Kelly Purkey set called "Dude") is from a collection of cards by Basic Grey. Both the pad of cards and the stamp set were part of the June kit. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the card, but I used two tickets from Papertrey's set called "Big Ticket Basics." They seemed to fit the theme perfectly. I coated the heart with some Glossy Accents.
I stuck with the same theme for Matt's card, using a different map from the "Boarding Pass" collection. This card was inspired by one of Nicole Heady's cards for a Papertrey release party awhile ago.
The plane which I colored with Copics and cut out came from "Fly Away" and neatly fit over a printed plane in the patterned paper. The sentiment is from the Boy Basics series by the same name. The last two cards meet the CASual Friday Challenge this week: MAPQUEST.
And the last card also meets this week's Simon Says Challenge: TRANSPORT.
